Instructions for Making Vegan Bread 

Now, we’re all set! Thus, let’s get into the instructions-

Step 1: Proof Your Yeast 

Firstly, take the yeast and add it to the warm water. Then set aside the yeast and wait for 5 minutes

Pro-tip– If you see bubbles, you’ll know the yeast is active. Hence, your yeast is not expired. 

Step 2: Mix All The Ingredients Properly

Now, take a large mixing bowl or even a stand mixer bowl. Then place all the ingredients that are dry in that bowl. To mix the ingredients properly, use a good-quality whisk. 

After that, add the right amounts of olive oil and vinegar. Now, mix all the ingredients and add the extra warm water.

Keep adding water till you have a soft and sticky dough. However, if the dough feels too sticky and slimy, add more flour to it.

Step 3: Start Kneading the Dough

After you get the right dough, proceed to knead it. For this, you can either just rely on your stand mixer. Or you can make your hands useful!

If you’re kneading the dough by hand, keep kneading it for 7-10 minutes. Then for a stand mixer, the time limit is 5 minutes. 

Within this specific time limit, you’ll have a sticky and proper dough for the bread.

Step 4: Move the Dough to the Bread Pan 

Once you have a sticky dough, you’ll need to proceed to the baking part. For that, firstly, line parchment paper in your bread pan. 

Then spread the dough in that pan. Now, while doing so, you’ll have to keep your hands wet.

Step 5: Allow The Dough to Rise 

Now, after you have moved the dough to the pan, cover it with a cotton towel. Then locate a warm place and keep the pan there.

After that, wait 60 to 90 minutes for the dough to rise. Now, make sure the dough has risen 2x its original size.

Step 6: Let’s Start Baking the Bread

Finally, preheat your oven and set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

While your oven is in preheating mode-

You can score the top of your dough gently with a knife. And take a little bit of flour and dust it on the dough too. This will give it an aesthetic look!

Now, place your dough with the pan in the oven properly. Keep baking for about 40-55 minutes. 

Before getting it out, make sure the internal temperature of the bread is 210-212 degrees Fahrenheit. To check the temperature, use a baking thermometer. 

Brush 1 tablespoon of melted vegan butter on the bread 10 minutes before taking it out. 

Lastly, just let the bread cool for 10-15 minutes. Then proceed to slice and enjoy it! Also, you can put this vegan bread in your freezer too and eat it later!

Some Important Tips to Look Forward

Now, we know some of you have some questions regarding the recipe. Therefore, we’ve gathered the most asked questions and answered them to help you out! 

Is It Possible to Get Vegan Bread without Using Yeast?

Yes, my friends! You can enjoy the bread even if you haven’t used yeast. Just use equal amounts of baking powder and lemon juice instead. These two ingredients will help the dough to rise just like yeast. Thus, you won’t have any problem at all. 

Why Is My Bread Dough So Sticky? 

The obvious answer is- you added too much water. To get the dough to the desired condition, add more flour to it. But be super careful while adding the flour. Because we want the dough to be sticky and soft. Excess amounts of flour will make your dough hard. Therefore, start by adding a little portion of the flour. 

Well, that’s it, bread lovers!! Isn’t it super easy? So, don’t hesitate and give this recipe a try.
